Core Purpose

Amends import policy condition 1(III) under Chapter 87 of ITC (HS) 2022 to revise the classification of vintage motor vehicles for import.

Detailed Summary

This notification amends the Import Policy condition no. 1(III) under Chapter 87 of the ITC (HS) 2022, Schedule-1 (Import Policy) with immediate effect. The amendment revises the criteria for vehicles eligible for free import by actual users, replacing the pre-1950 manufacture date criterion with a classification of 'vintage motor vehicles' as defined under the Central Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989. These vintage vehicles, while exempt from other ITC (HS) Chapter 87 policy conditions, remain subject to the Central Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 and its rules for operation on public roads and must comply with relevant conditions under Chapter IIIA of the Central Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989.
